Hey girls

Wow what a busy day on this thread!!! So pleased your scans went well Niki and Honey!!

Welcome to the new girls too, I will add you to our front list now - not long to the 50 - think we'll make it????

Well, as ever, another week another drama......

(I posted this in first tri, so you may have seen, but now I have the followup..)

I went to the loo earlier after days and days of being constipated - ahhhhh the relief. But, when I wiped I noticed a blob of stuff. Looked a bit like yellow/green phlegm (sorry if its too gross for you..) It wasnt blood stained or massive, but after all the problems, I was obviously worried about it. I called the EPU at the hospital Ive been going to for my treatment (not where Im having bean) and they said I need to spek to my GP. I called and called but no answer. I thought blow it, just call the hospital where Im booked in to have my dating scan and deliver bean etc.. I spoke to a nurse there who said dont worry about it. I have a scan booked with them in 2 weeks, so I should wait for it.

Now, here's me thinking ive lost my plug, and also considering my m/c at 9 weeks before you would have thought they would have cared a bit???!! But no.

So I managed to get in touch with GP who told me to come down straight away. The results from my urine sample had come back clear, but there was stilll blood present, and that wasnt normal.

I went back with another sample (getting good at weeing in pots now) and he tested it. Turns out I do have infection present, but it must be coming from my lady bits, not my bladder.

So I have to take antibiotics for a week now.

OMG - Is this turning into some kind of joke???!!! The thing that greaves me, is I spoke to 2 differnet m/w's today, and both of them told me to sit at home and take paracetamol. I would not have known about infection had I not pursued it.

Anyway, thats enough ranting. I feel absolutely disgusting, and Im going to lie down and feel sorry for myself...

Hope everyone else is OK!!!

sorry shelly you are arent getting an easy time, thats awful about the mw's still at least you got it sorted now, I noticed somethng like that the other day, wasnt very big, just like a yellow cm, is that normal or should I go to gp ? xx

 

[Always&4ever]

I'm so tired, seems the tiredness kicks in by 6pm

 

[NikiJJones]

Oh Shelley: it seems to go from bad to worse for you. I can't believe how crap the midwives are being too!! Thank goodness for your doc!
I reckon your beanie is a real fighter though, through all this. I know waiting for that scan must feel like hell for you though.

 

[kookie]

hi im due the 28th july

 

[TigerLady]

:wave: Hi, Kookie!!!

 

[Sarah+]

Oh, we are so going to hit 50!

Oh, Shelley. This just proves that when you feel something isn't right, you need to keep telling people til someone listens. Well done I'm sure the antibiotics will clear everything up, and hopefully you can have a peaceful 7 months from now on.

Loved the scan photos Honey and Tabby. Can't wait to see yours Niki. So glad it went so well.

I went out for dinner last night and had quite a time buttoning my pants. The concerning part was that they aren't just tighter around my belly! Thighs, butt.... my m/s is more constant again and I only feel better when I eat! And I don't actually vomit. It's a vicious cycle. I've got to start choosing better foods or I'll be a whale in a few months time!

My DH comes home today, so really looking forwards to seeing him, esp after the scare, as he felt so bad being away.

Have a great day and a great weekend

P.S. Glad I'm not the only 'mushy' one! (From what I read, it's normal)

 

[SJK]

Hi and welcome kookie xx

Hows everyone else doing today xx

 

[shelleylu]

Hey girls!

Well today I feel rubbish!! Really feel ill, but the GP said the infection might make me feel crappy. Head is banging, and sooo sick. I stayed in bed till 2pm!!! I just managed to eat some tomatoes on toast after not eating again last night. I am in the same boat as you Sarah - I only feel better if I eat something, but I usually end up eating rubbish if I can stomach anything, and Im never able to eat after around 4-5 pm for some reason. Seems my morning sickness is well and truely evening sickness - Tigerlady - give me my bean back!! lol

Thanks for all the well wishes girls. You're right, sometimes you really need someone to listen to you, not blow you off. I have had it since the other day when that first MW told me to go and have a brew - So thats 3 different health care proffessionals that have dismissed me, and now I am pooly with it. SJK - hun, if you think its not right, go and see your GP. I had more of it today. I wont go into details, but it wasnt nice. From what I gather, anything that isnt cloudy/milky/clear isnt right - yellow or green stuff is usually a sign of infection. If its gone and you have no more worrys, I shouldnt be too concerned, bu I think you know when something isnt quite right down there....

Welcome to our mad house Kookie - You're our 43rd mummy to be!!!

Hope I've got everyones dates ok at the front page. Let me know if not and I'll change it for you asap. I have so much info on little bits of paper on my PC desk, and my OH keeps moving them!!!!

Hope everyone is feeling OK today, and getting things ready for Christmas - not long now ladies!!!

[TigerLady]

I want my bean back, too!!! I feel totally fine when I get up in the morning for about 3 hours. Then I start slowly feeling crap until about 5 or 6 when it really kicks in bad! I'm worthless by about 8 pm. Ugg.

So, I am okay for the moment, but I expect to start feeling crap within about an hour.

 

[NikiJJones]

Mine seems to be the opposite. It is real classic morning sickness now. I wake feeling like s**t and have to hurl my guts up, and then it is bad till lunchtime, and less so in the afternoon and I feel OK usually by the evening. Then it starts being nasty again in the early hours in bed. I had a bucket by the bed last night, and, boy, did I need it first thing this morning!!!!
Shelley and TL: hope your evening isn't too bad. I've discovered organic crushed apple juice seems to help the nausea a bit. My Mum also says that the pectin in crushed or grated apple helps to neutralise stomach acid, so it might be worth you trying it. I got mine in the Coop Shelley. TL: hope you can find an equivalent. And I feel like it's a healthy thing too in amongst all the unhealthy stuff I've been craving recently.

 

[honey08]

[SJK]

I must find a co-op on my way home tonight x

 

[TigerLady]

I've been drinking lots of apple juice. Have some next to at the moment, as a matter of fact. I will have to look for the kind you are describing, thanks, Niki!

 

[SJK]

Thanks honey08, I am ok, still feeling ruff most of the day, and trying to eat something, but cant face most things, that really funny what you said about coke, I normally love coke and at the minute, I cant even face the smell of it, let alone drink it, isnt pregnancy the funniest thing, you now want it and I now hate it xxx

 

[TigerLady]

I HAD to have coffee EVERY morning! For YEARS! I switched to decaf a couple of years ago, cuz I was tired of the caffiene headaches if I didn't have it on time. Suddenly, about 3-4 days ago, I went off it entirely! Now can't stand the thought of drinking it. I never thought that would happen!
